2-Day Kintsugi Immersion
If you want to experience a full Kintsugi repair in a short amount of time, this two-day experience will take you start-to-finish from broken to repaired ware with 24k gold.
Normally, weeks of curing time are required between each step in Kintsugi. But this beginner-friendly course is structured so participants can experience all major stages of traditional kintsugi without having to wait between steps. Our team has prepared vessels for each stage in advance so you can go through a full repair in a condensed timespan.
During each of the four sessions, you'll learn about the art form's history, ecology, and philosophy. This will provide you with a robust understanding of Kintsugi's context and approach it with a proper mindset.
This immersive begins on August 21–22 and will be held regularly on the last Thursday and Friday of each month thereafter. Attendance is capped at 6 participants. If you have a group of 4+, you can request private classes or custom dates.
Please contact experiences@pojstudio.com for requests or if you have any questions.

While urushi can cause skin irritation in its raw, wet state, once it has completely cured and hardened, it is absolutely food safe. Urushi is one of the most durable natural materials and thus extremely well-suited for environmentally-responsible, long-lasting repair of ceramics, porcelain, and other wares.
I will be aware of my surroundings. If I accidentally come in contact with urushi, I will massage the affected area well with any plant-based oil straight away to remove urushi from my skin. I understand that POJ Studio is not liable for any adverse reactions caused by urushi.
